Why sniper rifles feel so powerful in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1
The introduction of Weapon Mods and Mod Benches in Chapter 5 Season 1 has also played a role in the power of sniper rifles. These additions allow players to customize their weapons and tailor them according to their playstyle. This allows them to maximize the potential of sniper rifles on the battlefield by not limiting the use of snipers to long-range engagements.
Weapon Mods like the Drum Mag and different sights allow players to use sniper rifles in different ways. Players can even try double-pumping with their sniper rifles with how powerful and quick they can be made in the current season. This has created a Fortnite landscape where snipers play a pivotal role in creating challenges for players navigating the new season's environment.
